Rent the Hall

Nineteenth-century elegance and 21st-century amenities combine to make Mechanics Hall the perfect setting for a variety of special events, including galas, weddings, concerts, business meetings, recordings, commencements, family celebrations, and more.

With 14,000 square feet of function space in five different rooms, our highly versatile building can accommodate 10 to 1,300 people.  The Great Hall, can host a grand ball, symphony orchestra, fundraising gala, recording session, pop concert, and many other events limited only to the imaginations of our clients.

Washburn Hall, the second largest space, can be used for dinners, concerts, receptions, proms, business meetings, and other events. More intimate gatherings are hosted in the Boyden Salon, the Board Room, or the Dickens Room.

Mechanics Hall is fully accessible and air conditioned, with spacious catering spaces and modern green room facilities. Our venue is conveniently located in downtown Worcester—the Heart of the Commonwealth—making it an easy drive from any New England location. The major airports of Boston, MA (BOS), Providence, RI (PVD), and Hartford, CT (BDL) are located within one hour of Mechanics Hall. Additionally, Worcester Regional Airport (ORH) is just 15 minutes away from Mechanics Hall.
